Erotic desires, aspiring dancers, ambitious theatre plans, and lip-syncing drag queens - it's quite a full house in the old Out There column this week!
Although we weren't born here, Out There has lived in San Francisco for 31 years, so we think we qualify as a bona fide Bay Arean. But we've always had a secret longing, a lust in our heart if you will, for our next-door neighbor, Nevada.
Last week, interviews with people with disabilities brought up aspects of how able-bodied staff and management of bars and restaurants treated them. This week, we focus on a few more people's experiences.
On Sunday, September 21, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., the folks at Folsom Street Events, along with countless volunteers, will mount the granddaddy of all leather events, Folsom Street Fair, now in its 31st year.
